# Object Wrap

The `Napi::ObjectWrap` class is used to bind the lifetime of C++ code to a
JavaScript object. Once bound, each time an instance of the JavaScript object
is created, an instance of the C++ class will also be created. When a method
is called on the JavaScript object which is defined as an InstanceMethod, the
corresponding C++ method on the wrapped C++ class will be invoked.

In order to create a wrapper it's necessary to extend the
`Napi::ObjectWrap`class which contains all the plumbing to connect JavaScript code
with a C++ object. Classes extending `Napi::ObjectWrap` can be instantiated from
JavaScript using the **new** operator, and their methods can be directly invoked
from JavaScript. The **wrap** word refers to a way of grouping methods and state
of the class because it will be necessary write custom code to bridge each of
your C++ class methods.

## Example

```cpp
#include <napi.h>

class Example : public Napi::ObjectWrap<Example> {
  public:
    static Napi::Object Init(Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports);
    Example(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info);

  private:
    static Napi::FunctionReference constructor;
    double _value;
    Napi::Value GetValue(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info);
    Napi::Value SetValue(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info);
};

Napi::Object Example::Init(Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports) {
    // This method is used to hook the accessor and method callbacks
    Napi::Function func = DefineClass(env, "Example", {
        InstanceMethod("GetValue", &Example::GetValue),
        InstanceMethod("SetValue", &Example::SetValue)
    });

    // Create a peristent reference to the class constructor. This will allow
    // a function called on a class prototype and a function
    // called on instance of a class to be distinguished from each other.
    constructor = Napi::Persistent(func);
    // Call the SuppressDestruct() method on the static data prevent the calling
    // to this destructor to reset the reference when the environment is no longer
    // available.
    constructor.SuppressDestruct();
    exports.Set("Example", func);
    return exports;
}

Example::Example(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info) : Napi::ObjectWrap<Example>(info) {
    Napi::Env env = info.Env();
    // ...
    Napi::Number value = info[0].As<Napi::Number>();
    this->_value = value.DoubleValue();
}

Napi::FunctionReference Example::constructor;

Napi::Value Example::GetValue(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info){
    Napi::Env env = info.Env();
    return Napi::Number::New(env, this->_value);
}

Napi::Value Example::SetValue(const Napi::CallbackInfo &info){
    Napi::Env env = info.Env();
    // ...
    Napi::Number value = info[0].As<Napi::Number>();
    this->_value = value.DoubleValue();
    return this->GetValue(info);
}

// Initialize native add-on
Napi::Object Init (Napi::Env env, Napi::Object exports) {
    Example::Init(env, exports);
    return exports;
}

// Register and initialize native add-on
NODE_API_MODULE(NODE_GYP_MODULE_NAME, Init)
```

The above code can be used from JavaScript as follows:

```js
'use strict'

const { Example } = require('bindings')('addon')

const example = new Example(11)
console.log(example.GetValue())
// It prints 11
example.SetValue(19)
console.log(example.GetValue());
// It prints 19
```

At initialization time, the `Napi::ObjectWrap::DefineClass()` method must be used
to hook up the accessor and method callbacks. It takes a list of property
descriptors, which can be constructed via the various static methods on the base
class.

When JavaScript code invokes the constructor, the constructor callback will create
a new C++ instance and "wrap" it into the newly created JavaScript object.

When JavaScript code invokes a method or a property accessor on the class the
corresponding C++ callback function will be executed.

For a wrapped object it could be difficult to distinguish between a function called
on a class prototype and a function called on instance of a class. Therefore it is
good practice to save a persistent reference to the class constructor. This allows
the two cases to be distinguished from each other by checking the this object
against the class constructor.

## Methods

### Constructor

Creates a new instance of a JavaScript object that wraps native instance.

```cpp
Napi::ObjectWrap(const Napi::CallbackInfo& callbackInfo);
```

- `[in] callbackInfo`: The object representing the components of the JavaScript
request being made.

### Unwrap

Retrieves a native instance wrapped in a JavaScript object.

```cpp
static T* Napi::ObjectWrap::Unwrap(Napi::Object wrapper);
```

* `[in] wrapper`: The JavaScript object that wraps the native instance.

Returns a native instace wrapped in a JavaScript object. Given the
Napi:Object, this allows a method to get a pointer to the wrapped
C++ object and then reference fields, call methods, etc. within that class.
In many cases calling Unwrap is not required, as methods can
use the `this` field for ObjectWrap when running in a method on a
class that extends ObjectWrap.

### DefineClass

Defnines a JavaScript class with constructor, static and instance properties and
methods.

```cpp
static Napi::Function Napi::ObjectWrap::DefineClass(Napi::Env env,
                                const char* utf8name,
                                const std::initializer_list<PropertyDescriptor>& properties,
                                void* data = nullptr);
```

* `[in] env`: The environment in which to construct a JavaScript class.
* `[in] utf8name`: Null-terminated string that represents the name of the
JavaScript constructor function.
* `[in] properties`: Initializer list of class property descriptor describing
static and instance properties and methods of the class.
See: [`Class propertry and descriptor`](class_property_descriptor.md).
* `[in] data`: User-provided data passed to the constructor callback as `data`
property of the `Napi::CallbackInfo`.
